Our Promise, Your Future: Victoria’s Youth Strategy 2022–2027

Mr J BULL: On International Youth Day last Friday the government was able to launch the Victorian youth strategy, a Victorian first. It is something that, as the former Parliamentary Secretary for Youth, I am incredibly proud of. The youth strategy is a framework that will help shape a positive future for young people in my electorate and right across the state. We are also absolutely delighted to ensure through the strategy that young people are empowered to address issues that affect them, ensuring that their voices are heard at every level of government. I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the hard work and the tireless advocacy of the Minister for Youth, the Parliamentary Secretary for Youth, her office, the minister’s office—Matilda, especially, at the department—and most importantly, the more than 2000 young Victorians who contributed to the strategy.
